I've got an AR with the standard bird cage. I'm wondering if there is a good 'silencer' that I could get for it that doesn't require any permanent gun modification. I tried a couple searches, maybe I spelded it wrong

If you live in a state that will allow them, there's the Gemtech Halo Silencer, Quick Detaches over a 5.56 flash hider.

But if yrou flash hider isn't permanently attached and barrel threaded. there's the bad ass AAC (Advanced Armament Corp) line:

you can replace the standard birdcage with one that either threads off or has thread on the outside for the type of suppressor that you want. First pick a supressor then figure out how to mount it. Different cans use different mounts

Some supressors to look at are
AAC
Knights
Gemtech
YHM
Surefire
AWC
SWR
make sure you get your tax stamp

So far I have researched them for about a year now and I think im soon going to get the ACC M4-2000. Ive found it seems to be one of the best around. But im going to have to test fire one first. You do have the change your FH on it.

ACC is right down the road from where I live.


Also take a look at the TAC-16's from Tactical Innvoations, there $399 and are full auto rated. Plus if you dont like it you can send it back. But they are not QD

Most of the newer made supressers you are going to have to change your FH on because some of the flash hiders are out of spec and you may get baffle strikes <--- BAD!

i love the aac logo. i really need a t-shirt.

You will be the first to know if I find a survey that can get you 20 free ACC shirts from.

Alright, so adding one of these would involve unscrewing the OE birdcage, putting their attachment piece on, then putting the birdcage back on?

Does the OE birdcage just screw off with a normal wrench?

 

[fatcat]

You would replace your flash hider with theres and then its quick detach.

Yes it screws off but sometimes you have to get the barrel hot. The fun way with bullets is best or with a flame.

Unless its a post ban gun with a fake bird cage.

I just got it about a year ago so that is very possible. How can I tell?

Edit: For reference, it is a Bushmaster A3 model (telestock and removable carry handle to expose Picatinny rail) It came with a 30 rd. magazine so maybe it is not a post-ban design?...

http://www.bushmaster.com/catalog_xm15_BCWA3F16SL.asp I believe the one up top is it.

 

[fatcat]

Does it have a bayonet lug? This is the easy way to tell.

Nice rifle.

 

[Shemoves]

thx, yah, it has the lug.

 

[fatcat]

Then it should just thread off, go counter clockwise.

Tactical Innovations Tac-16 is nice.
